Notes
In the first few months of 2024, I decided that I would like to try and walk 1000km in 2024. This included only "going out for a walk", so not just distance walked around at work, walking to the pub, lunchtime walks at work, etc. I tracked all the activities that I wanted to count and have plotted the results here. This ended up being a bit of a Britain farewell tour as at the beginning of 2025 I left the UK for a new adventure. In the end, I logged 1195.0km of walking/hiking in 2024!
Walks included significant sections of the following notable long distance paths:
- Shakespeare's Way
section from Stratford-upon-Avon to Maidensgrove.
- This was a group walk spread across 2024 with the Chiltern Young Walkers Ramblers group
- Due to timings and other commitments, I missed the sections from Maidensgrove to Shakespeare's Globe in London
- The Ridgeway Nation Trail
from Goring to Ivinghoe Beacon.
- I had done the first half of the trail between Christmas 2023 and New Years 2024
- Due to foot issues, the second half was left for 2024
- This was a solo walk, the complete 138.5km was completed in two outings over 4 days
- Oxford Green Belt Way
- This was largely a solo walk split over many days starting and ending at home
- The entire route was completed, however I roughly doubled the distance by starting and ending at home!
- Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail
- Some sections in the middle, more interesting section of the trail
- This was done over two visits, one with Mary and one with my Mom & brother
Some short section of other long distance paths were also explored as a section of a shorter walk, these included:
- Offa's Dyke Path National Trail
- Beacons Way (Brecon)
- Cambrian Way
- White Horse Trail
- Pennine Way National Trail
- And probably others I have forgotten...
